[Solved] Opening / Converting old StarOffice files?

I have some old (Star Office 4 & 5) files (.sdw) that I'm trying to open with OpenOffice 1.0. Sadly, it's not working ... even if I select the correct filter. Anyone have some tips?

Thanks,

DT

Can't you use OOo 2.3 ? The .sdw (SO 3 to 5) is listed in the import filter so I guess it should work (never experienced that format myself).

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Solved ... I needed to download the openoffice.org2-filter-so52 package.
